Ryan Shazier
School: Ohio State
Position: OLB
Positive: Three-year starter who posted a team-best 143 tackles and 22.5 tackles for loss last season, as well as 4 forced fumbles. Incredibly productive linebacker with poor size for the next level. Explosive, plays with suddenness, and very quick arriving on the scene. Covers a lot of area, gets depth on pass drops, and is effective making plays in space. Fast moving sideline to sideline, immediately alters his angle of attack, and loses little momentum changing direction. Stays with assignments, displays great skill in pursuit, and fiercely chases the action. Throws his body around the field and works hard to get involved.

Negative: Lacks size, gets caught up in the trash or taken away from the action by fullbacks. Average awareness and instincts in coverage.

Analysis: From strictly a football point of view, Shazier is a top-notch linebacker who shows incredible production defending the run or making plays behind the line of scrimmage. He's also a terrific athlete who gets depth on pass drops and easily runs down ball handlers in pursuit. Limited size and growth potential narrows the types of systems Shazier can effectively line up in at the next level and the number of teams who'll use a first round choice for his services.

5 picks until we're up, 3 of our guys still there. cowboys are gonna take manziel. so 4 picks until us

Jerry Jones told us for two weeks ...NO WAY and Manziel.

Now we'll see.

[Bretsky]

I think this guy will excel in the 3-4 with Pittsburg. He can play inside or out

[pittstang5]

Damn, now that the Steelers took Shazier, I wanted him even more.

that's where.


Anywhere but the official coverage......

[wist43]

I think for the most part the scouts disagree with you and feel that Mosley can play every down

We play so much 2-4... Mosley or Jones or Hawk - doesn't matter.

Shaziers gone... so I'd rather wait at LB - Maybe Van Noy a little further down.

Would much rather have Van Noy further down, than Mosley at 21.

CBS is ignoring protocol and just blasting them out on every platform other than TV. SI doing same. JLC is on Twitter

Wish the Vikings could finagle Van Noy.

Bad pick #Steelers.


Chris B. Brown @smartfootball 2m

I am not a huge Shazier fan but have to think LeBeau and Tomlin can find some good use for him in Pittsburgh

[Bretsky]

AARON RODGERS TWEETED....this will be an interesting 10 minutes

[woodbuck27]

No way he was lasting to NO. 21 with that 40.

Good...Shazier is gone. Come on, Jerrah, and take Manziel. Let's get a safety!
